Handmade Turtle Bead Lanyard


I made this turtle bead out of an ivory blend clay and placed it on a turquoise blue bead blank that I had made. It was baked, stained, sanded, stained again, heated and buffed on a jewelers wheel.

About Me

My photo
I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
